... I had only been here roughly five months before an untreated asthma attack killed me.

[wondering_eye]

I see.

...That's somewhat respectable, considering the nature of this place.

[wizardoftheweek]

[wondering_eye]

Hmm. Well, I'll take your word for it.

...My word is more or less worthless to most, but if that's enough for you, you have it. I'm not going to look for anything.

[wizardoftheweek]

To most. But not to me. I've come to consider you... a friend.

[wondering_eye]

...Part of me wonders if I should even bother reciprocating, when it's the people who aren't from Gensokyo who say it.

[wizardoftheweek]

No one can really decide that sort of thing for you, but... I can say that it has been worth it, so far.

[wizardoftheweek]

It hurts, but... that does not make those memories any less precious to me.

I see.

[wizardoftheweek]

Mm... At least that is how it has been for me.
